What value divided by 36 equals 87?

In other words, what would the dividend be if the divisor were 36 and the quotient 87?

To find the answer, just multiply the divisor with the quotient: 36 × 87 = 3132

To prove this, let's compute 3132 divided by 36: 3132 36 = 87

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 36 gives a result of 87 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

x 36 = 87

  1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 36: 36 x 36 = 36 × 87
  2. 36 x 36 is equivalent to 36 36 x , which simplifies to 1 x (or just x ).
  3. Thus: x = 36 × 87 = 3132

So, if the divisor is 36 and the quotient is 87, the dividend is 3132.
